If there are any countries which can make success of international arbitration England and the United States are the countries. They have the same language and are near enough related in many ways to make the experiment hopeful one. They are also far enough separated to make it comparatively easy to keep the peace. From the time of the peace congress leld in European capi- tai something more than thirty years ago there has been in this country, as in Europe, an endeavor more or less continuous and more or less conspicuous in aid ot universal peace. And yet there doesn't seem to be much prospect of continued peace in Europe, Asia or Africa.
 and representatives of various unoficial,Eng- fish bodies have waited upon the President of the United States and expressed to that officer the sense of many millions of people on the other side of the water that the time has come to make some practical attempt to do away with war 8 method of settling difficulties between nations. It is significant that Sir Lyon Playfair in presenting the me morial to the President for transmission to 
 come of an ardent desire on the part of the workingmen of the United Kingdom to per petuate the friendship and peace which now happily exist between the kindred people of both sides of the Atlantic" Mr. Cremer, the secretary of the Workingmen's Peace associa- tion, which originated the memorial, urged the propriety of action in this behalf by con- gress because of the freedom of this country from old world evils and the inspiration of the example to Europe of two highly civilized nations joining in such legislation and com pact; and he cited as evidence of the wide spread feeling in England in this regard the fact that at the recent session of the Congre- gstienal union, when that great body was represented by two thousand ministers, resolution was unanimously passed approving the objects of this deputation.
 To these expressions the President respond ed in fitting terms, endorsing the principles of the addresses All of which is encourag- ing, though such a treaty as is desired may not be made now As the Providence Journal remarks: The active and intelligent peoples of two countries will consider the subject. Christian feeling and the highest idea of duty to the workingmen of the two countries will come into play. The obvious arguments of economy and humanity will unconsciously have their effect, and slow though the prog ress may be, there will be some advance to- ward that true civilization which, if it cannot wholly prevent, will still lessen the frequency of war The time and labor will not be lost, and while human nature will not be reversed in it's characteristics they are from generation to generation modified in aid of the less ma terially endowed of the earth.

When we advertised special lots of MEMS AND YOUNG MEMS OVERCOATS AT SPECIAL LOW PRICES. We expected big business, but nothing to compare with what we have had for the past week. The reason for this is very plain. The people know that when c. E. Longley & Go. adver- tise bargains they are sure to find just what is advertised. This week we continue the phenomenal sale of MEMS IMPORTED SEAL BROWN KERSEY OVERCOATS at the special low price of $12, all sizes from 35 to 42. These coats are being sold to-day in this city for $22, and are held out as bargain. At our price, SIP, they will last but day or two.
 MEMS AND YOUNG MEMS INDIGO BLUE ELYSIAN OVERCOATs at SIP. The greatest bargain we ever offered. We don't ask you to take our word for it, but come and see the garments, whether you wish to buy or not. Every overcoat in the lot is worth $23, and would be very cheap at $2O. At our price, SIP, you can rest assured that we cannot keep them long. We call special attention to the above lots, but we are showing as good bargains, at all prices from the cheapest to the best, and as we carry larger stock Of Mems, Young Mems, Boys and Children's Overcoats than any three firms in the city it goes without saying that we are doing the overcoat busi ness.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In a recent article in the Independent it is gravely asserted by a professor of political and social science that "there is no boon in nature; all the blessings we enjoy the fruits of labor, toll, self denial and study" fIn truth, there is no boon and never was;" and, further, that as every man who stands upon the earth or eats a loaf of bread to that extent excludes others, and two men can not eat the same loaf of bread, a "pitiless monopoly is in nature." The professor, while taking most of his illustrations of the selfshness of nature from the earth, does not forget the rest of the universe, for he says that Eff not strong enough to conquer obsta- cles man may lie down in despair and not breeze or leahet or a sunbeam will vary it's due course to help or pity him."
 It has been said Efthere is misstatement error so grievous as one containing half truth" Probably none doubt the necessity of labor, study and self-denial for mans highest achievement. It is to be hoped that few will doubt the beneicence of nature in furnishing the boon of opportunity for labor, study and self-denial and the aids which natural laws provide for overcoming natural obstacles, if indeed those things may proper Iy, in the larger sense, be called obstacles which are really ''stepping-stones" ill the way of mans progress ito higher things" To one to whom nature (whose larger defni- tior, according to Webster, is "the word of matter and mind'O presents nothing but hard and unyielding face, coupled with pit tiless and unrelenting heart, life must indeed be a dreary pilgrimage, fitted to beget phi losophy whose central idea is "every man for himself and the - for the hindmost." :"
 No boon for man in nature? None in the fertile ground, producing without mans labor such wealth of vegetation, such deli cious fruits and giving with a modicum of labor such abundant sustenance that with the aid of one mans labor many may be fed? None ill the varied seasons? None in the sunlight which gives us also warmth? None in the water which we drink and which is as free as the air we breathe? Is there no boon in the great powers of nature which do our bidding, only requiring for their most efficient use study of the natural laws which govern them, and which work for us many benefits whether we understand those laws not, none in graVitation or cleo tricity for instance? Is there no boon to gladden. vision and heart in the flowers which nature seatters so bountifully in woods and fields '? None in a June day "when an apple bough laughs into blossoms or buttereup plays with the sunshine or a violet dances in the glad dew?" We must forget sun and rain and changing seasons, ''the sweet influences of the Pleiades" and harvest moons, the daisies in the grass as well as the neDulous skies and be utterly given over to dogmatic pessimism before we accuse nature of furnishing ''no boon"

The bill to prevent bribery or corruption which has been passed by the New Hamp- shire house provides that whoever attempts corruptly to influence an executive or judic- ial officer or member of the legislature shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or fine not exceeding $3,00O, and that whoever accepts bribe shall forfeit his office, be forever disqualified for holding office, and imprisonment not more than ten years, or fined not exceeding $5,000 Con sidering what has been going on in New Hampshire this is a very proper bill.
 There has been much wonder why coop erative stores didn't succeed as well in this country as in England. The latest explana- tion, and it is plausible one, is that the cash system in this country is very much more closely adhered to than it is in Eng land. In the last named country, supplies of all kinds, groceries, provisions, dry goods, etc., are sold to the retail purchaser on time. That is, he is given frequently from six months to nine months in which to pay his bills. This not only results in loss of in- terest, but frequently in failure to collect anything, and the cooperative stores, run ming upon a cash basis, losing no interest and making no bad debts, can, consequently, easily undersen the regular dealers.
 Robert L. Knox, who has been connected with the Panama railroad for six months, has just returned to this country and gives a startling description of life and death among the laborers on the Panama canal He says that Panama comes nearer being hades than any place he was ever in.

The weather was soft that day and fifty CT more colored fellows had been brought in. In the afternoon the heat and the air had their effect upon them, and one by one they fell. I saw one man hit on the head by the excavating machine. He was killed. The body was immediately hoisted into the dumping tube, sent through the machine, and that was the last seen of him.

The priest of the St. Agnes Catholic church at West Chester, Pennsylvania, has notified Philip Mcguire, editor of the West Chester News, and W. s. Bowen, superin- tendent of the gas company, that they will not be allowed to occupy pews in the church nor receive the sacrament, living or dead, as long as they send their children to other than the parochial schools. This is rather significant straw.
 The Evangelical Alliance is doing proper work in New York city by bringing to bear, through it's committee on legislative action, upon candidates for public office a test of their position on the public school question It asks them, first, whether they are in favor of maintaining the public schools, and, second, whether they are in favor of main taining the integrity of the common school fund of the State. It is time for such ques- tions.
